Digital autonomy is boosting European tech demand

European buyers increasingly frame technology procurement as resilience and autonomy.

Non-European suppliers need a public answer on data access, update control, local support and audit rights.

The issue is no longer only whether a product is secure. It is whether the buyer can defend the purchase to parliament, procurement reviewers, employees and critical-infrastructure customers.

A supplier should prepare a jurisdictional-control dossier covering source-code access boundaries, support escalation, incident notification, subcontractors and termination continuity.
